Specific hook for all meleeAttacks

[cromcrom]

Hello there,

I feel a little lazy, could anybody tell me if there is an easy way to apply a function (checkDeterioration, for instance) to all meleeAttacksComponents, without doing it for each item ? And if yes, either the code, or a serious hint or link would be amazing, please

It's trivial, actually. PartyComponent.onAttack() provides the component used to make the attack; it's the third argument.

Code: Select all

onAttack = function(self, champion, action, slot)
  if action and action:getClass() == "MeleeAttackComponent" then
    -- do your stuff here
  end
end,

There is one caveat: PartyComponent.onAttack() is not called at all for bare-handed attacks.

Amazing, my deterioration system will make much more sense now. Thank you so much

Actually, I checked, the deterioraton system for weapons was already played on the onAttack hook from the partycomponent. However, this checks the deterioraton every time a character attacks. I would like to have it checked only when a monster is hit, so that would be the onMonsterHit hook from the meleeAttackComponent. However, my issue is to set this deteriorationCheck function on all meleeAttackcomponnts for all melee weapons, without doing it hand by hand for each weapon.
Hopefully I can make myself clear ...

Sorry, the only hook for that is MeleeAttackComponent.onHitMonster().

[cromcrom]

Yes I know. Is there a way to apply a function to all onHitMonster, without doing it individually for each and every weapon type ?

[minmay]

no, but you can use this to possibly make it a little more convenient

Thanks for the info, and not being as lazy as me
